Why are the cards called so?
Are there any plausible reasons as why they are included in the game of monopoly? Does their naming have anything to do with real-world namings?

Community Chest is named from the original Atlantic City version of Monopoly.
In Atlantic City, the Community Chest was a welfare organisation. Therefore, Community Chest cards are more likely than not to give money.
On the other hand, Chance cards are more likely to move you to a random 'chance' location.
